Garvin No12 Plain Mill

[Cryoine]

Just a short one but this will soon be in my possession, does anyone have any information about this machine

given the patented date this would be the oldest machine I own by a country mile

Garvin #12 Milling machine any manuals or pointers in the general direction for more information would be welcomed

I have spoke to Jeff Joslin several times.
He can search their archives and is a very good resource.
